algebra precalculus - If a certain number is divided by the sum of its two digits, how to find it from quotient and remainder?



If a certain number is divided by the sum of its two digits, the quotient is 7 and the remainder is 3. If the digits are reversed and the resulting number is divided by the sum of the digits, the quotient is 3 and remainder is 7. Find the number.




My Attempt:



Let the number be 10x+y.



According to question:
10x+yx+y=??

.



I could not get how to make the equation using quotient and remainder. Please help.


Answer



HINT:10x+y=7(x+y)+3=7x+7y+3



and 10y+x=3(x+y)+7=3x+3y+7

Can you proceed now?
